The Phantom Tollbooth

by Juster, Norton

The Chronicles of Narnia

by Lewis, C. S.

Downloadable Audiobook - 2005

Hands down one of the best series I've ever read and listened to. C.S. Lewis has a way of transporting you into another universe and I still continue to learn just as much as an adult as I did as a kid. Great for the whole family.
